Easter grand sales opens

Mr Sampson Kwaku Boafo, Ashanti Regional Minister, has observed that the need to think and act globally was no longer an option but a pre-requisite to business and survival.

"Today we live in a global market place where business was increasingly competitive and where new technologies, product developments and market changes challenged us daily.

"The way we do business and the environment within which we do it are changing so rapidly that business strategy that is successful today could spell failure tomorrow."

Mr Boafo made the observation when he opened the Easter Grand Sales of the Ghana Trade Fair Company Limited (GTFC) at the Prempeh Assembly Hall in Kumasi on Friday.

The 11-day fair, the second to be held in Kumasi, is in collaboration with the

Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) and the National Board for Small-Scale Industries (NBSSI).

The Regional Minister said the Grand Sales 2002-Kumasi, was the Trade Fair Company's attempt at creating a more vibrant platform for commercial and industrial operators to get acquainted with the change, challenges and more importantly, profitable opportunities available at the market place.
